Allen College of Homoeopathy

What Allen College of Homoeopathy does

Allen College of Homoeopathy, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Chelmsford, Essex, is a privately-held educational institution specializing in classical homoeopathy training following the 200+ year lineage of Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) through the five-generation Banerjea family practice. The college delivers a part-time 3-year Diploma Licentiate Course and a 2-year Postgraduate Course in Comparative Materia Medica and Miasmatic Prescribing, both accredited by the Institute of Homeopathy Accreditation (the successor body to the Society of Homeopaths which transferred accreditation in 2024). Core teaching is supplemented by the long-running 2-week Calcutta Clinical Training programme (41 years running, 125+ live cases per cohort), the Students' Teaching Clinic, twelve pre-recorded practical seminars, an annual Summer Conference, and supervision groups for qualified practitioners.

Revenue is generated across four streams: tuition fees from diploma and postgraduate programmes; book sales authored by Dr. Subrata K. Banerjea priced $15-65 per volume; hand-succussed homoeopathic medicines, globules and kits sold through subsidiary Bengal Allen Medicines (prices ranging from USD 1 for 5g globules to USD 275 for the 300 Remedy Polychrest Kit); and clinical training/event fees from the Calcutta programme and conferences. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the college website and a coordinator network across 11 countries, with orders fulfilled by email and airmail shipment, and bank transfer payment.

The institution operates with approximately 6 employees, supported by a network of international coordinators and partner practitioners, and has been recognized as a Top 5 Homeopathy College globally by Homeopathy360, with a 4.8/5 Google rating. It also runs the affiliated Bengal Allen Medical Institute charity (Kamala Banerjee Memorial Fund), providing free homoeopathic treatment to approximately 250 Calcutta slum residents since 1986.
